*Great thanks to Ed & Arlene Lang for delivering food to the Food Bank! It's empty once again and invites your generous giving. Please make every effort to give healthy foods to our neighbors. Thank you!

*It's a Boy! All are invited to celebrate and welcome Rudy Yeung & Sophie Tran's baby boy on Saturday, Oct. 29th, from 2:30 - 5:00 p.m. You are invited to bring finger foods to share (sweet, savory, or fresh & healthy). The Yeung-Tran baby is especially in need of diapers (all sizes), diaper care items (wipes, creams, oil, lotion, and powder...as chemical free as possible), changing table pad, waterproof changing mats, blankets, and baby wraps/slings. The family kindly requests no baby clothes for the 3-6 month range as they are fully stocked for those. 0-3 month items would be welcome.
